For an herb, supported by traditional use but minimal or no scientific evidence. For a supplement, little scientific support.

Our proprietary "Star-Rating" system was developed to help you easily understand the amount of scientific support behind each supplement in relation to a specific health condition. While there is no way to predict whether a vitamin, mineral, or herb will successfully treat or prevent associated health conditions, our unique ratings tell you how well these supplements are understood by the medical community, and whether studies have found them to be effective for other people.

For over a decade, our team has combed through thousands of research articles published in reputable journals. To help you make educated decisions, and to better understand controversial or confusing supplements, our medical experts have digested the science into these three easy-to-follow ratings. We hope this provides you with a helpful resource to make informed decisions towards your health and well-being.

This supplement has been used in connection with the following health conditions:

Dose: Refer to label instructionsConjugated linoleic acid may play a role in reducing body fat. Research has reported that CLA supplementation produces minor gains in muscle size and strength in weight-training men.(more)

Dose: 3.2 to 4.2 grams dailyA double-blind trial found that exercising individuals taking 1,800 mg per day of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) lost more body fat after 12 weeks than did a similar group taking a placebo.1 However, two other studies found that amounts of CLA from 0.7 to 3.0 grams per day did not affect body composition.2, 3 Most double-blind trials have found that larger amounts of CLA, 3.2 to 4.2 grams per day, do reduce body fat;4, 5, 6, 7 however, one double-blind study of experienced strength-training athletes reported no effect of 6 grams per day of CLA on body fat, muscle mass, or strength improvement.8

Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) is a slightly altered form of the essential fatty acid linoleic acid. Animal research suggests an effect of CLA supplementation on reducing body fat.1, 2 Controlled human research has reported that 5.6 to 7.2 grams per day of CLA produces only non-significant gains in muscle size and strength in experienced and inexperienced weight-training men.3, 4, 5 A double-blind study of a group of trained men and women reported reduced body fat in the upper arm after 12 weeks of supplementation with 1.8 grams per day of CLA.6 Further research using more accurate techniques for measuring body composition is needed to confirm these findings.

Preliminary animal and test tube research suggests that CLA might reduce the risk of cancers at several sites, including breast, prostate, colorectal, lung, skin, and stomach.1, 2, 3, 4 Whether CLA will have a similar protective effect for people has yet to be demonstrated in human research.

I have used GNC products for years. I always buy their vitamins and have been using the energy and metabolism vitamin for women. I decided to try the Active for 30 days because of its joint cushioning benefits and my active lifestyle. I work 10-11 hrs a day and i run and weight train 5-6 days a week, so needless to say, I get worn out quick and need that extra energy. I thought it was a good fit. BOY WAS I WRONG. I could take my energy and metabolism vitamin and within 30-45 min I could feel that extra energy boost that I needed to get through the day. I don't feel anything with this vitamin. It's almost like I haven't taken anything. Needless to say, I'm sending these back and getting my normal energy and metabolism womens vitamins. Never hurts to try new things, it shows you what works best for you! I would still recommended these vitamins. Even tho they didn't work for me, doesn't mean they won't work for you. GNC has great vitamins, you just have to find what works best for you

Over the last year and 1/2 I try to use this daily. Now THIS I know works better than any other MV ever taken because:

Feel: more energized than if I didn't. When I took these regularly, the afternoon tiredness didn't exist anymore.

Obvious: I notice that my nails grow faster and look better (less torn cuticle area, break/tear less) when I'm consistent with these MVs. I really do like them.

Contents: Have you looked at the contents of these? The daily values are one of (if not the) best I've seen while comparing many other brands of MV's. It even has 100% recommended DV of iron for women, plus so many other things in high value than other MV. This explains why the dosage is 2 (kinda big pills :)) But it has a sweet vanilla-like coating so that helps with swallowing them.

CON:(The last purchase was made here on GNC.com - also the first time buying these online. After noticing a "fainty/lightheaded/tummy achy/head-achy" feeling that went on and off daily for a few weeks, I traced it back to starting when I started this new set of MV's. Now I definitely attribute the ill feeling to this batch because it usually comes on around 1-1.5 hour after taking them. This is my 3rd or 4th bottle of this MV and I haven't noticed before until starting the new sets - any ideas why? It really leaves me feeling weak and sick for about 6-8 hours on and off throughout the rest of the day after taking these. This purchase was 2 bottles together, i thought about trying some from the un-opened bottle, but wasn't sure there would be a better chance of returning/exchanging them if left at least one bottle un-opened)I planned to try taking them at night so I would just sleep off the weird/sick feeling, but keep forgetting about that option. Tip to self-try @ night. It's still weird to feel that way with them all of a sudden though.

All that to say, I still recommend these MVs because they're the best I've ever taken. But am kinda concerned about how this last batch bought makes me feel.

I have previously used the Ultra Mega Active for years and have recently switched over to the energy and metabolism formula. I have only used this formula for about two weeks, so not enough time to notice a difference, but if it's anything like any of their other forumals, I'm sure it'll be worth the investment. I usually shop during sales as this can be costly at regular price and the pills are large (doesn't bother me, but for someone who doesn't like pills or can't take large pills, this would be important to know). Overall, I'm very satisfied with every GNC vitamin I purchase - my nails and hair have improved drastically in the years I have used GNC brand vs other vitmain store brands. I'me excited to see how well the energy formula works for me!

I must say I wasn't expected much and I planned on taking these back if they caused problems (I normally get heart palpitations from high amounts of vitamin B)...but to my surprise, I haven't had any issues with heart palpitations or feeling jittery. I only take one a day though and I always take it mid day because I always get tired in the afternoon and then workout two hours at night. This vitamin gives me the extra energy I need to get through the day and I find myself going to sleep around 11 instead of 9 like I always have. I LOVE this product and will continue to buy. If you have any doubts about this product just try it and return it if you don't like the results!

I use every day after meal.I think it is useful product for working woman,because it has many essential vitamins and it haseasy to use method.So I recommend my friends to take it.These day, I feel better than last year.Thank you, GNC..............and multi vitamins...
